Good afternoon! We wanted to inform you that the swimming pool will be closed at 6 PM today for necessary maintenance. The pool will reopen tomorrow for its regular hours.

Although the pool will be closed, we are still hosting adult night this evening. However, please note that the pool will not be accessible from 6 PM onwards as we will be treating it (shocking it) for maintenance purposes.

The pool is regularly cleaned, and treated but we will be instilling that the pool will be vacuumed every Thursday. 

Thank you for your understanding and we hope you have a wonderful weekend. 
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the upkeep of our facilities. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the pool, feel free to email [email protected]. For general inquiries or urgent matters, you can also CC: [email protected] and [email protected].

This helps us improve security and reduce liability and will also reduce the need for paid gate monitors. Overview of the program:

Dear ROSRC Members, 

Today, we celebrate the remarkable women who have filled our lives with love, wisdom, and unwavering support. Whether it’s through biological bonds, chosen families, or maternal figures who’ve guided us along life’s journey, we honor their immeasurable impact.

On this special day, we extend our gratitude not just to mothers, but to all caregivers, nurturers, and mentors who selflessly give of themselves every day. We also acknowledge that Mother’s Day can be a complex time for some, recognizing those who may find today bittersweet or challenging.

To all the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and mother figures—thank you for your endless devotion and the countless ways you’ve shaped our lives. Happy Mother’s Day!

The wait is over! We’re thrilled to announce that the pool is officially open for the season! Dust off your swimsuits, grab your towels, and get ready to make a splash. Whether you’re a serious swimmer, a casual floater, or just looking to soak up the sun, our pool offers the perfect escape from the summer heat. And if you’re not into swimming, don’t worry, because our tennis courts are also ready for action. So, gather your friends and family, and let’s make this summer one to remember! See you at the poolside!

  • Pool wristbands pickup and guest fees
  • PayPal Tips (in membership fee section)

Membership Fee Reminder
If you have not paid your first half of your membership dues, they are now late. A late fee may apply. Please make sure to quickly take care of this; please reach out if you have any trouble. 

The remaining balance of $300 for the annual dues will be due by June 1, 2024. Also, for members with outstanding balances from 2023, settling those fees is necessary before key card activation.

TIPS if you are paying by PAYPAL: 

  • The name is River Oak Swim and Racquet (No Club)
  • Please make sure you include the transaction fee in addition to your dues

You can explore more information about payment options by visiting our website under the payments tab.

As a friendly reminder, during the April 2023 general membership meeting, the amendment to the by-law concerning the timing of the workday assessment/credit was voted on and approved. Accordingly, the $50 workday assessment will now be paid by all members with the 1st installment of the annual dues each year. Members have the opportunity to receive a $50 credit upon completion of an approved workday activity. Important: The fulfillment of the $50 is due on your first installment, no exceptions. Towards the end of 2024, we will be handling the workday credits for those who request a refund. 

In addition, it was communicated during the October general membership meeting that annual dues will be increasing from $550 to $600 in 2024 to address rising costs. With these changes, your first payment of $350 (comprising half of the annual dues, $300, plus the $50 workday assessment) is due by March 1st. This payment can be made via check or through our club’s PayPal account on the website. Please note that PayPal may assess a small fee. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted payment.

Buildings & Grounds 

If any members have a playground set in good condition and no longer in use, please consider donating to the club.

Updates and announcements: 

Pre-Opening Workday – the following work has been done to get the club ready to open.

  • On 4/13/24: the roof was blown off and the gutters were cleaned.
  • On 4/20/24: the brush was cleared near the Pavilion and behind the pool.  The perimeter around the pool was sprayed with weedkiller. The front steps and sidewalk in front of the building was pressured washed along with the pool deck by the high dive.  Plants were planted at the front of the property in front of the trees and on the island as you enter the parking lot.  Also, the drainage at the back left side of the pool was cleared in an effort to allow water to run off and not back up on the property.
  • On 4/26/24: the main Pavilion area was pressure washed as was the picnic tables and rails. 
  • On 4/29/24: the pool deck from in front of the restrooms and to the right side of the kid pool was pressure washed.

Thank you to the following members who have volunteered to help get the club ready for the summer: Tom MacKenzie, Brian Meyer, Matthew Curtis, Don Summers, Alan Burton, Zack Bower, Roxanne Blake, John Blake, Ann Porter, Josh Howell, Brandy Howell, Mike Gant, Steve Harmon, Chana Coughlin and Kim Hooper.

Work still outstanding: 
The remainder of the work needed at the club such as pressure washing the remainder of the pool deck, the sidewalks around the tennis courts and demo of the playset will be done if additional volunteers are willing to complete these tasks. 

Front entry flooding – the county has cleaned out the pipe that runs under the entrance driveway.  DOT also pulled a ditch on both sides of the driveway, added rip rap round the pipe, hydro seeded the ditch & surrounding area and put up no parking signs in front of the club.  The no parking is to avoid damage to vehicles and to each ditch.

Please contact Sherri Fowler at [email protected] if you’d like to address the outstanding items.

Membership Wristbands

As we work to align our processes in partnership with our new pool company, we are implementing a wristband identification system. This is common practice for large pool facilities like ours and will enable both our members and lifeguards to easily identify who is authorized to be in the pool area. This helps us improve security and reduce liability and will also reduce the need for paid gate monitors. More details will be communicated as we get closer to pool opening, but here is an overview of the program:
-Members 6 years of age and older will be issued a numbered silicone wristband to be worn on the member’s person and easily seen at all times within the fenced pool area (5 and under do not require wristbands)
-Members can pick up their bands at the pavilion during specified times staring May 1st
-Enforcement of bands will begin the first day of lifeguards on May 22nd and remain in effect throughout the end of the pool season
-Guests will be provided a one-time use band that is valid for one day. Sets of guest bands can be purchased in advance from designated board members or purchased the day of the guest visit from lifeguards during “adult swim” time.
-Pavilion party non-member guests will also be provided a one-time use band for those events
Tennis
We have the following ALTA tennis teams at ROSRC

Spring (seasons have already started)
-Saturday Men
-Sunday Women
-Senior Day Women

Summer
-Senior Women
-Senior Men:  The requirements are 45+, ALTA membership, and at least some playing experience.  The league is more laid-back than other seasons so a good opportunity for someone who would like to play casually.  Matches are Friday evenings, starting May 31.

Looking for a great way to keep your kids active this summer? Our team, The River Oak Rapids, is part of the Gwinnett County Swim League and we are looking for swimmers for our team. Our head coach this year, Lauren Diehl, has a lot of great ideas and we are very excited to have some fun with her.

Practice starts May 13th after school and then shifts to mornings on May 28th. We’ll offer a stroke clinic in the evenings on limited days and meets are on Thursdays. Our season runs May 13 – end of June.

As the days grow longer and the sun begins to warm our spirits, we are delighted to bring you the March edition of ROSRC News! While the pool itself may still be slumbering, our excitement for the upcoming opening in May is palpable. So, let’s dive right in and explore what’s in store for the upcoming season.

This letter will cover: membership dues, workday credit refunds, workday pre-signup and tennis updates!

Membership Fee Reminder

As a friendly reminder, during the April 2023 general membership meeting, the amendment to the by-law concerning the timing of the workday assessment/credit was voted on and approved. Accordingly, the $50 workday assessment will now be paid by all members with the 1st installment of the annual dues each year. Members have the opportunity to receive a $50 credit upon completion of an approved workday activity. Important: The fulfillment of the $50 is due on your first installment, no exceptions. Towards the end of 2024, we will be handling the workday credits for those who request a refund. 

In addition, it was communicated during the October general membership meeting that annual dues will be increasing from $550 to $600 in 2024 to address rising costs. With these changes, your first payment of $350 (comprising half of the annual dues, $300, plus the $50 workday assessment) is due by March 1st. This payment can be made via check or through our club’s PayPal account on the website. Please note that PayPal may assess a small fee. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted payment.

*We are tentatively planning to have our first workday on April 20th (with a back-up day of April 27th). More details to come. Let us know you can attend on April 20th: https://forms.gle/SNodoz8dP3YXTFqE9

The remaining balance of $300 for the annual dues will be due prior to June 1, 2024. Also, for members with outstanding balances from 2023, settling those fees is necessary before key card activation.

Thank you for your attention to these matters, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Membership

As we are now firmly into 2024, it’s time to make plans for the summer. I am hoping for a warm, sunny spring.

I am looking forward to green trees and activities at our club.  If you know of any friends or neighbors who may be interested in joining our community, please let me know. We pay a referral fee of $100 to members for each household that joins. Or, you can authorize me to credit that fee to the new member to reduce their initial costs.

I can be reached at [email protected].
